The Switch Drive not only offers substantially improved costs, but the efficiency of the PMG at partial speed is superior to that of conventional double-fed or squirrel-cage systems, says Jukka-Pekka Makinen, president and chief executive officer of The Switch.
Another advantage of the Switch Drive is its ability to tune itself to individual sites and seasonal conditions, Makinen adds.
